Default Do I need a larger capacity battery for my Rx.

I recently switched my Futaba 8UAF system from 72Mh to 2.4Gh by a module change, but still use a 4.8 volt 700Ma nicad pack to power the Rx and 5 std. analog servos in the model. I seldom fly more than five, 10-12 minutes flights per flying session and need to know if I should increase the battery capacity to say 1000Ma to guard against the possibility of the system suffering a brown out.
